When Helping Too Much Backfires

Let’s be real: helping your team is essential. It builds trust and a strong company.

But there’s a line where help turns into harm.

If you stop letting in new talent, new ideas, fresh energy… your company starts closing in on itself. Like a family that only reproduces within. Looks fine for a while, but slowly, it weakens.

Being a good manager doesn’t mean just “protecting your own.” It means making hard calls. Sometimes, that means bringing in someone from the outside even if it feels uncomfortable.

The best teammates will get it. Because the company’s success is their success too.
